[IRCA] Pests vs. Targets (Re: Northern Ireland-1341)
Speaking of pest vs. desired station, I've been wondering about something. About how much stronger does a signal have to be above what John Q. Public might consider acceptable quality (I've heard David Gleason says this is 10-15 mV/m in urban areas) before a trans-oceanic-and-equatorial DXer would begin to consider calling it a pest? 80 dB? 100 dB? Maybe 120 dB? ( Or does a station not have to be overloading a radio's front-end to be considered a pest? ;) ) Or, how much weaker could a station be than something like http://youtu.be/kEIU3mP5f38 or http://youtu.be/fEMLcEqCu3E and still be a pest for you DXers in search of exotic antipodal (path through earth from you to the station goes exactly through earth's center) part 15 dx? :) Anyhow, I've got a few targets I'd like to try to receive sometime here in El Cajon, CA, including:10 kW 684 kHz Radio Maurice 1 on Mauritius Island about 11,500 mi NNE of me (I have a 77kW/50kW 32 mi SSW of me on 690) 50 kW 760 khz Radio Sana'a Al Mukalla/Alshahr, Yemen, about 9000 mi NNE of me (I have a 5/50kW co-channel about 7 miles NNW of me) 10 kW 819 kHz Radio Maurice 2 (same) 50 kW 909 kHz IRIB Radio Iran Lar, Iran, about 8250 mi NNE of me 750 kW 909 kHz Yemen RadioAl Hudaydah, Yemen, about 8900 mi NE of me (I have a 5kW on 910 about 9 mi N of me) 600 kW 909 kHz VOA Moepeng Hill, Botswania, about 10,160 mi E of me 600 kW 1170 kHz Radio Sawa Al-Dhabbaya, United Arab Emirates, about 8450 mi NNE of me (I have a 50kW/2.9kW co-channel about 9 mi N of me that's off the air for about 10 seconds every time they do their pattern change) 1 kW 1206 kHz Radio Rodrigues on Rodrigues Island (a few hundred mi E of Mauritius - path from me to them goes within a couple degrees of the North Pole, also there's a semi-local 20kW/10kW (unless their 30 kW night CP has been built) about 25 mi NNW of me) 2 kW 1575 kHz BBC WS on Mauritius Island (1580 KMIK may be 300 mi E of me, but they and their IBOC are often the strongest station I hear at night that is not usually audible in the daytime, rivaling some locals within 10-15 miles of me) That's not an exhaustive list by any means - there's others on 909, 1170, etc (co-channel to my locals, yes ;) ) I'd like to try for that are in areas surrounding the Indian Ocean. What would be my best chance at receiving those? For now, I have a Tecsun PL-606 ultralight and Select-A-Tenna, but don't expect to be doing much DXing over this weekend as I'll be out of town. (I'll have my radio with me, but haven't decided if there's room for the SAT yet.)

[IRCA] Mystery station while WHO off the air
IRCA, This morning, while cruising in the dark, just below light speed, across Iowas frozen tundra, cradled in the warm womb of the MotherShip, my mammoth Buick Century, WHO 1040, for inexplicable reasons, went off the air.

Re: [IRCA] Mystery station while WHO off the air
Before they could give their call letters, WHO came back on Sounds almost like the reverse of an experience I had at least a few months ago. :) I was inductively coupling my PL-606 to a SAT utility line, tuned to 1670. Normally KHPY Moreno Valley owns the frequency, often being near-local-like barefoot. For about 1-2 seconds at TOH, KHPY was open-carrier (between spots maybe) and I heard a KNRO call. I'm still hoping for the day I can catch an ID of a SS during the ~0.5 seconds that 760 KFMB (7.3 mi NW) is off the air while making its ND/DA 5kW/50kW day/night pattern switch. ;) Who knows, maybe I could bag that 50kW in Yemen or wherever it is? -- On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 6:35 PM PST John Fisher wrote: Steve, I was listening to a feature on Fox Sports Radio about the Indy Driver at that time also.

[IRCA] Tip: 1710 khz Undercover Radio (pirate) on now at 0400 UTC
I just caught an ID and email address for Undercover Radio at 0344 UTC on 1710 khz and into Chris Isaac's I want to fall in love song. Signal in and out and mostly fair. As always, best here in usb to avoid 1700 splatter. Carrier measures 1710.001 khz. With the approaching holiday, I have a feeling 1710 will be busy this weekend during the late evening hours. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] Mystery station while WHO off the air
One pretty good possibility is WNJE-1040 Flemington, NJ which has been relaying WEPN-1050 NYC with ESPN Radio and local WEPN sports talk programs for several months now. Somewhat difficult to hear at my location because of WBZ IBOC but I have noticed them a few times.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 23 Dec 2011
Rather a poor morning here for TPs.Several of the powerful NHK stations from Japan had audio (594, 693, 774, 828) at various times but not overly strong. The upper end of the dial never came up near dawn the way it's often done of late. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

Kaz: Yes, I believe they went off by the time your email came through. The last positive ID that I had from them was at 0441 UTC.
